Luciano wins Mr. Senior Holland: I hope to inspire other Rotterdams

Personal trainer, Luciano Krenten from Rotterdam Nord now holds the title of Mr. Senior Holland. With his new title, he represents Holland and his city as well. He was the only one in Rotterdam to reach the final of the election and he is more than proud of that.

“It is an honor for me to represent a big city like Rotterdam. There were so many potential winners from the city who took part in the competition. In the end, I was the only one from Rotterdam to take part in the final.” Luciano had to invest a lot to achieve his title, but local entrepreneurs also ensured his great success. “My hair was styled by Joss Cuts in Stockfishwater. I had to buy clothes and so I got extra support from Xander Franklin, a concept store up north. But Masculuri contributed too, because I was allowed to wear their shoes.” Luciano hopes his new title will inspire his fellow Rotterdam citizens and businessmen to do the same. “I hope the people of Rotterdam will get to know a different world. The world of Mr. Election is something unique and you cannot experience it that easily.”

The shock came later
This realization came later for Rotterdam. “After the announcement, I first had to take a picture with everyone. It was overwhelming! Once I got home and sat on the couch, it really dawned on me, I’m Mr. Senior Holland.” Not only was Luciano shocked, his phone got really hot. “I received an incredible amount of cute messages from my friends but also from strangers. There was even someone who wanted to register for the upcoming elections!”

One surprise after another for Luciano, the contestant he faced in the final, Mr. Senior Belgium, was suddenly announced. So this time two winners. “It was a shock when I heard we both won. We were not informed of this beforehand.” Both the Dutch and Belgian winners will be the face of the organisation. They will visit different events together and will talk here about their experiences.
